Holidays are notriously slow...  

Spain, Italy, France.You can find rising demand for holiday locations in Europe.Greetings,Reapall

You have to remember that in this economy people are living from paycheck to paycheck, and if they loose one day of pay (holiday), they might not be able to pay all their rent, or even worse their utilities. 

Hey there, I am getting a property under contract, but the seller who is going through a divorce and has 2 high school daughters is stating that she wants to stay in the property till after the holidays.  

You took a GIANT step by joining.

During holidays, it often goes up to 10%!!

Normally, I wouldn't have rented to them due to their unreliability right off the bat, but this was in the middle of the holidays and things were dead, so against my better judgment, I rented to them.

Hopefully there's a REI meeting in early January because I'll attend that one while I'm back home for the holiday break.

I know this has been touched on in the past, but things change year-by-year and I thought I'd bring it up again.I'm looking for ideas on holiday thank-you gifts for contractors - what kind of gift do you purchase, at about what price point, and how far down the line of subcontractors do you go (if you go down the line at all)?

Having been spending time in New York our friends introduced to the Hipster Phenomena .driving over the Manhattan Bridge there was a giant line of traffic to get into Williamsburg.
